Walking In The Silence Poem by Sicelo Sithole

They allowed young man to walk around places, with no knowledge of where they were.
In that walk were future priests… to hold words to the hearts of those walking in silence
A storm came by and took all young souls waiting in isolation, with feet full of words of the place now bare.
Walking in the silence brought shame to the elders who instead of audacity showed ignorance.
The land now wonders and writes the history of those who came and left signs of loneliness
The words are scattered and questions remain unanswered, in this walk of silence, there is no sign of holiness
